We must have, by far, the biggest wage bill in this league and will be making a loss of hundreds of thousands of pounds this season. We have players all our rivals would kill to have. Savage is funding this to get us to where we can be sustainable as a full time club. Much as we all love Kells just now, the harsh truth is that if he doesn’t get us promoted this season he has failed.

I'm a bit concerned about all the high expectations for this season. We have come from a bad place, and whilst we are on the road to recovery, it will need a lot of hard graft to get back into the Championship. For me, the most important thing to happen this season will be things off the park. We need to develop a sustainable business model which will allow for longer term player contracts in the future with the potential for transfer income in due course. Obviously it will be great if we can win promotion with the squad we have, but I think a solid mid-table finish will represent positive progress on our journey. We would then look to push onwards and upwards the following season when we would probably have a more solid foundation to ensure we don't go straight back down again. I've predicted we will finish 4th, which, at the time of writing, is lower than everyone else has predicted. If it turns out I have been too pessimistic, then I will be delighted, but if it turns out most people have been too optimistic and we don't win the league or gain promotion via the playoffs, it would not be good for the club if it was generally regarded as a failure

Dominant performance until we eased up after the third. Kelty were poor and their defence contributed to each goal, but we had to score. Mckay’s opener was the pick, curling the ball in. Longstaff scored the second with a header, whilst Wotherspoon juggled the ball before calmly netting the third. Chalmers ran the midfield and MacIntyre looked good at left back. An enjoyable afternoon in the sun but we will have tougher tests ahead.

A lot of those "highlights" are pretty rubbish, that could easily have been Billy over the past 2 or 3 years. But as people on here like to say, the proof is in the pudding 😉

With three more new signings yesterday I hope we can get a few more to complete the second shirt, it would be good to add some new sponsors.

We know about Alfie, what about Chanka>>>

Payment for Matthew Strachan sponsorship has now been made. We will continue to collect names for a while to see what else we can sponsor and all names will go into the hat at the end of the season to be drawn for any goodies we receive from the club in return.

A classy and composed performance, at least until the substitutions. Hard to conclude on how good we actually are given that Kelty were a shadow of the side we have seen before, making loads of errors, lacking physical presence and generally seeming a bit aimless. But we certainly played a lot of lovely football and didn’t do much wrong. Great start to the season but many tougher opponents lie ahead.

Sounds a lot like the kind of thinking that put us where we are now.

We'll be swapping places soon dont worry

3-0! Wasn't sure what to expect today, but it wasn't this

Aye, its 2-0. BBC reporter was shot dead.

Ah well, I had 2 minutes to realise the latest video was 8 years old.

Pessimists are seldom disappointed.

That pretty well sums up my feelings. Alan Savage isn't going to finance the club forever, and it is therefore imperative that some other investors come in. (I am sure that he will be working on that.) I think that a playoff spot is a reasonable aspiration. Someone may well run away with the league, but I don't think it will be us. But of course I am looking forward to every minute of a season that we very nearly didn't see!

A serious statement of intent from Savage. We now have a squad which should be strong enough to dominate this league. We need to be putting down a marker at Kelty today and wiping out the points deduction by next Saturday.. Massively up for the season ahead. Time for folk to back the team in numbers home and away.

I never make predictions, and I never will…

Disappointed in the lack of an option for invincibles to be honest. 1st will have to do.

Peterhead, goal difference +3 - top of the table. ICT, goal difference +3 - bottom of the table.
